Masked gunmen on scooter behind fatal shooting outside NYC migrant shelter that may be tied to Tren de Aragua gang: sources

A deadly shooting outside a Brooklyn shelter Sunday night was a hit by scooter-riding masked gunmen who are embroiled in a turf war between rival migrant gangs, law enforcement sources told The Post.

The gunplay near the Brooklyn Navy Yard that left one asylum seeker dead and another clinging to life stems from a bloody feud between the notorious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua street gang and a spin-off crew that includes former members, sources said.

The violence erupted around 11 p.m. Sunday outside a shelter at 29 Ryerson St., when the two migrant thugs pulled up and opened fire on a 21-year-old Venezuelan national identified by law enforcement sources and witnesses as Enny De Jesus.

“We were sitting here, joking and everything like that,” said a Venezuelan migrant who only gave his name as Angel. “We were celebrating a birthday. The two guys came on the motorcycle and shot him — four, five times. The two guys had masks.

“I was here,” Angel added. “They shot from the bike and kept going.”

A second migrant, a 59-year-old man who had only arrived at the shelter a week earlier, was caught in the cross fire and is listed in critical condition on Monday morning, the sources said.

Witnesses said the second man was an innocent bystander — with gruesome video viewed by The Post showing him sprawled out on the sidewalk with blood streaming from his head.

Police took a person of interest in the shooting into custody just 10 minutes later, when two men on a scooter fitting the description of the gunmen got into an accident on Park Avenue and Taffee Place.

One of the two was injured and nabbed at the scene, while the suspected gunman — who was wearing a distinctive pink shirt — took off and remains on the loose, the sources said.

No charges have been filed in the incident.

Cops now believe the shooting was likely linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua , which has established a foothold in the Big Apple, and the rival crew made up largely of former members of the gang, the sources said.

Investigators said the vicious gang has recruited scooter-riding armed thugs who have terrorized the city with snatch-and-run robberies and violent assaults throughout the five boroughs.

Angel told The Post that De Jesus had been housed at a massive tent city for migrants erected on Randall’s Island until recently but was booted for fighting with another asylum seeker.

Police are also trying to determine if another fatal shooting minutes earlier was also tied to the war between the rival gangs, sources said.

In that incident, a man in his 30s was shot in the chest and arm by gunmen in a blue sedan around 10:45 p.m. in a park near the Navy Yard and not far from the shelter.

The victim, who has not been identified, was taken to Methodist Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.

De Jesus was gunned down about 10 minutes later.

“They came for him,” Angel insisted. “I was standing right there. I see everything right there.

“I’m nervous every day,” he added. “First time I see a guy get shot.”

Law enforcement sources said it is unclear if the shooting is related to a separate shooting nearby several minutes earlier, which left a homeless man dead and his killers still on the lam.
